BREAKING: House Committee declare PFIPC DG’s appointment letter as fake
The House of Representatives ad hoc committee investigating the alleged operations of the controversial Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) has declared the appointment letter presented by Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claims to be the organisation’s Director-General, as fake.
The committee’s chairman, Yusuf Gagdi, made the declaration on Wednesday during the continuation of the investigative hearing in Abuja.
Gagdi disclosed that the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack, who appeared before the panel for the second time, also confirmed that the documents submitted by Adeyemi were not authentic.
According to the committee, the findings further cast doubt on the legitimacy of Adeyemi’s claim to the office and the operations of the disputed council, which remains under investigation by the House.
“It was established that the so-called letter of appointment was fake, confirmed by different agencies, and the Act presented to the Head of Service was equally fake, forged by the DG; it was established,” the lawmaker said.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation appeared before the committee in compliance with its summons following her earlier invitation for her final statements.
Also present were Deputy Commissioner of Police Olufemi Akinola and Assistant Commissioner of Police Bashir Abdullahi, who are representing the Inspector-General of Police.
At the time of filing this report, Adeyemi has yet to appear before the committee.
Recall that the committee had on Monday described the establishment and operation of the purported council as a serious breach and directed the Inspector-General of Police to produce Mr Adeniyi Adeyemi within 48 hours.
